The Washington Transportation Plan establishes a 20-year vision for the development of the statewide transportation system. WTP is based on the six transportation system policy goals established by the Legislature: preservation, safety, mobility, environment, stewardship, and economic vitality (RCW 47.04.280). The WTP update is being completed by the WSDOT and the Washington State Transportation Commission in two phases.

WTP 2035 – Phase 1 (Policy) is complete and provides the Vision Statement and recommended strategies and actions. It was adopted by the Washington State Transportation Commission in January 2015 and delivered to the governor and legislature.

WTP Phase 2 (Implementation) updates the 2007-2026 long range transportation plan to meet federal and state requirements. It will implement key policy recommendations from Phase 1 for the development of the state’s multimodal transportation system. WTP Phase 2 is underway and scheduled for completion at the end of 2017.
